I’m not super invested in this topic, was just offering another perspective.

You make a few fair points, but they all reduce to “a young adult can’t be trusted to make their own choices” due to any # of life / societal circumstances.

I’m really just against the infantalization of young adults. My point wasn’t that we have enter relationships we are not comfortable or that there are not older folks who prey on the vulnerable. We all know that happens and it’s obviously fucked. The scenario I’m describing is two consenting adults, not one consenting adult and another being manipulated.

What about what they want? We are always talking about this one sided and it infantalizes the other party. Is a 20 year old not allowed to make decisions on who they are sexually or romantically attracted to? At the risk of becoming very unpopular in this thread, two consenting adults where no grooming has occurred should be fine most of the time.

Good, there is nothing wrong with the current gen. I want major leaps every few years not marginal improvents every year.
